Unfortunately, humans are just rotten in general, bullying is as old as the human race.

~~Un~~ fortunately, NOT ALL HUMANS are just rotten in general & have much compassion as well as strength of determination that those around them will not suffer the degradation of being treated thusly by ASSHOLES.
Sexual harassment in the workplace (as well as schools, etc.) is now being addressed…LEGALLY. Results//progress IS BEING MADE.

i know, here i go again, you must all hate me by now, but seriously: almost every serious bully regrets his actions later. (at least male bullies)
so, i don’t think it can be explained by “humans are just rotten”, because then why the regrets afterwards?
i also already explained in this thread it’s also inaccurate to say “Kids are cruel”, because bullying happens in prison and old peoples nursery homes as well.
so, the “cruelty” is in the institute. think about it…

I (and probably YOU should) thank God that ya don’t (YET?) understand such things.
The dark, lonely, scary parts of the human mind can be very, VERY difficult to deal w/……for BOTH the individual AND those around him/er.

I couldn’t agree more. When people come back at bullying with, “That which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”, it’s such useless, toxic advice.

> Freedom of speech, if someone pushes you, you can push back.
I .. what? Do I honestly have to explain to you that is not what freedom of speech is about? Unless the definition of “push” was recently changed.
> Damn, I remember getting bullied. Gives me the chills. Yes, I’ve been cyberbullied. People say cyberbullying is worst then getting bullied in real life. Honestly, I believe none of that.
Bullying is much worse than cyberbullying, as cyberbullies are incapable of getting to you physically.

Yes, I heartedly agree w/ ya, GameGod. I would even go farther to say there is a whoooole lot more negative results than the ones YOU listed.
AND, I wonder what is the bases “those ppl” use when they tout that “what-doesn’t-kill-you-makes-you-stronger” crap when it comes to bullying. Yes, some “adversity” in life is essential to developing some “strengths”….at the very least, it can remove the “rose-colered glasses”.
AND, I wonder WHO uses that kind of “overkill” method,,,,obviously the bully. I imagine some bullies actually think they are—if one uses the “kill-survive” model—doing the “wimp” a favor.

Don’t forget to add that in cyber-space, ones social enviroment doesn’t know they are being bullied. I say this because I believe there is some weird “social anomaly” that goes on in social groups (often most notibly in schools) that resembles [how chickens behave](http://www.chickenkeepingsecrets.com/keeping-chickens/chickens-pecking-each-other-to-death/)
_“When chickens draw blood, they go a little berserk. For some reason blood sends everyone into a frenzy and they attack the wounded animal. The more blood there is, the more they attack. There is a sort of cumulative effect.”_
The oppostie is typically true, too. The cheer-leaders and jocks are (falsely??) idolized “because that’s what one should do” for the “beautiful ppl”. “Smart ppl” are much less “admired”. In fact, in respone to auto bumper stickers that say: My kid is an honor student,,,,,there is this “black humor” sticker that says: My kid beat up your honor student. For this kind of person, I’m tempted to kid a huge dent in their door and leave a note that sez: My foot kicked the shit out of YOUR door.
I like to think there will be an irony to those bumper stickers when it is the honor student who, as a lawyer, is defending the bully in a court of law….lol

Cyberbullying and any kind of bullying or discrimination is wrong and a sin. Please pray to Jesus if you have ever bullied someone. All those victems, find comfort in that FACT that Jesus loves you!!! No one is more beautiful in His eye’s then YOU!! And don’t let anybody convince you otherwise.
PRAISE JESUS

You never know if you scarred them for life.I still remember in elementary school,where LOTS AND LOTS of people would bully me because I spoke with a Spanish accent or because I was different.Actually we just didn’t get along.Every day they would hurt my feelings.I still remember how it felt.
Nowadays I can combat ANY type of bullying.Thanks to them.
I guess it does build character,but bullying is one of the things that leads to children failing at school,then they turn into criminals and they become the next Hitler.

Bullying is **constant** harassment,one argument that hurt your feelings won’t change how you are.
But if it happens every day then…..It sucks.
Plus its not the people that are being bullied,bullies are mistreated at home all the time,by a parent or bigger brother or sister.
Bullying sucks,it has led to suicide and criminals,and even worse,that nerd you might have picked on in high school can come back and kill you.I’m serious,it has happened.

I have a large sense of humor,(and I understood your joke)and laugh at the sun for being so bright.
But that was uncalled for and unworthy of this thread.

Cyberbullying is a complete joke; anyone who knows they get upset over things posted on the internet/facebook/other sites simply shouldn’t use the internet, it’s really as simple as that. Don’t give people the opportunity to “cyberbully” you.
Now on the subject of real bullying, more specifically suicide; this may be hard for some of you to hear, but anyone that commits suicide over being “bullied” is weak and selfish.
People need to understand that BULLYING CAN NOT BE STOPPED.
People will bully others as long as there are humans on earth.
What’s important is people need to be taught to be strong, confident, and intelligent so they can overcome bullying, rather than trying to stop an unstoppable “issue”.

Well, cyberbullying is a serious business, and is every bit as real as the physical variants, but with often less guilt about it. However, a fairly recent [comprehensive study](http://www.newswise.com/articles/cyberbullying-less-frequent-than-traditional-bullying-according-to-international-studies) has been able to determine that cyberbullying is by far the minority psychological torture method used, and most efforts should be focused on physical bullying, as has always been the case.
Whilst cyberbullying does occur, it’s frequency has been media hyped far in excess of actual occurance.

what angers me a little is that some people argue that cyberbullying is a bigger problem because it’s less exposed than, uhm, offline bullying. they think they’d know if it happens offline.
which i’m pretty sure is the opposite of the truth.
